I also snacked constantly. I was starving until the end of the day. Just try to keep it healthy and you should be fine!

do what you need to do - i've been eating terrible and all day long.

i.e., can't digest veggies or fruits, so mainly cereal, carbs, crackers, and fast food. yay me!

I'm still not gaining weight and I'm 15 weeks. in the first tri it's kind of what you need to do to survive! eat what you can and try not to worry to much

HAHA get ready to gain 50 lbs! I was the same way and ate everything in sight because it helped with nausea. After the nausea passed I was just hungry 24/7! LAte night snacking and eating will really get cha!

Don’t give yourself a hard time about eating habits/snacking in the first trimester – especially if you are dealing with morning sickness!! Just do what you have to do to get through it. And if your snacks are healthy and what your body wants – why break the habit?

FWIW, before I got pregnant I was an all day “grazer” (snacker) and that’s continued throughout pregnancy. I also now eat larger meals, and sometimes double on meals (eat 2 breakfasts or 2 lunches in a day). I also eat dessert almost every night now, whereas before, I didn’t have much of a sweet tooth. I’m almost 31 weeks and have only gained just over 20 pounds in total.

In my first trimester I ate almost constantly, in order to keep the nausea down a bit (I have hypermemsis and on top of the meds, keeping my tummy full helped manage the nausea). Since then I have been eating every 2 hours or so, partially due to my GD, but I have gained minimal weight (about 10 pounds total at 35 weeks).

I ate pretty much hourly in the first tri because I was STARVING constantly. In the second trimester, it subsided a little, so I could cut out a snack or two a day. Then around 22-29 weeks I was starving again. It subsided a little and at 32 weeks I'm not as hungry as I used to be. But I have terrible self-restraint - I generally eat healthy but give in to treats all the time. I have gained about 20 pounds total.
